Have you ever taken the overland track for a stroll up Cradle Mountain? By the time you arrive at the historic Kitchen Hut, it is a three hours return to climb to the summit. The views, on a clear day, are well worth the hard yakka and by the time you arrive home you’ll certainly sleep easily that night! I’m not that energetic, and much prefer a stroll into my not so historic kitchen, boiling my kettle, and brewing a soporific cup of Rock the Cradle. Not such hard yakka but a good night’s sleep, all the same!
